Taking Stock: One!




I have been reading a lot of these taking stock posts on some of the blogs I follow and decided to do one as well. I am not sure how often I will be doing them or if I will even do more at all but here goes for the first one….Research tells me that this lovelyblogger started the “Taking Stock” posts way back in 2013 and quite a number of bloggers have joined in since then.

Making: room for some awesomeness coming my way
Cooking: a lot with wheat berries (whole wheat grains) these days
Drinking: lemon water
Reading: Maya Angelou’s “The Heart of a Woman”…second time round almost a decade later
Wanting: more than I could possibly afford right now
Looking: at my computer screen and TV at the same time
Playing: nothing
Wasting: plenty of time right now…not good at all and very unlike me
Sewing: nothing but I was gonna hem a trouser that does count…no?
Wishing: I could take the pain away for a dear dear sister friend going through a really tough time
Enjoying: my own company
Waiting: for someone to reply to my text message
Liking: how my hair smells; I just washed it:)
Wondering: if I should have a smoothie or not
Loving: these Plimsolls/Plimsoles I recently bought
Hoping: to travel more next year
Marvelling: at how fast the year has gone gheez slow down already!
Needing: a new phone, a tablet and a vacation not necessarily in that order
Smelling: my hair
Wearing: sweatpants and a tee
Following: the comments on this controversial post on my Facebook newsfeed
Noticing: how beautiful Hawaii is (I am watching TV:) I need to visit
Knowing: that joy comes in the morning
Thinking: of my dear dear sister friend going through a really tough time right now
Feeling: like making a smoothie but I am too lazy to get off this couch plus I don’t feel like washing out the blender this night. Done touching water for the day
Bookmarking: my paypal page; don’t ask
Opening: my browser
Giggling:  right on track with these TV people
Feeling: warm and cosyJ

I really had fun doing my very first taking stock post!  Initially I was not going to do the entire list but only pick what spoke to me; customize to suit my current mood but I found myself typing away without a break:) I would definitely do one again.

  1. This is cool. Is it sort of a way of reflecting what is going on at the moment. I will have to give it a try. How often do you do this? And what did you use in your hair that smells so good? LOL ;)
